>> overreached -- bill clinton in 1994. republicans thought that in 2000 x where the new governor of indiana said, hey, republicans are going to act like democrats with all that spending and government expansion, they will just hire the professionals. and they did. then you saw in 2010, dialing back of the extremism of the first two years. yes, i would like to back up to your original question. i stand in a very small circle of conservatives who have said publicly that obama has significant advantages and would probably win. a recent i said that, i am a professional pollster. i saw a couple things i would like to share with you so that we learn from this past cycle. one is that, the fundamentals of the race never shifted. in the last 100 years, only one incumbent president ending for reelection was defeated who had not been challenged by his own party. jimmy carter lost, but he had been challenged. george herbert worker lost, but he had been challenged. the only president who lost his bid for reelection and had not been cha

i guess the flavor of the day is bill clinton, regardless of what his motivation. i am sure it is to distance his wife from the obama administration, which he has already done by resigning as secretary of state. because of benghazi, and let's be honest here, things got pretty tough when she was supposed to testify. she waited five months and then she said -- what does it matter at this point? well, she made it at that point from september 11 until january when she doesn't fight. but anyway, bill clinton is telling the truth for once and he is holding obama speak to the fire. people are saying this is good for us -- how can we hate it? i never had a majority of people, even before this thing was passed that was in favor of doing this. people forget about that. if the president made any mistake in saying if you like your health care, you can keep it, period. if you like your doctor, you can keep him, period, which is a lie. if you fix it now and take bill clinton's advice since he made a commitment, even if the matrix -- even if it means changing the law, then he mea

bill clinton was president in the 1990s. you remember how republicans treated bill clinton. it wasn't that different from how republicans treated barack obama. again, they impeached him. is it just a function of a democratic president where they him from to drive office by any means necessary? the 1990s wanted to do interventions and therefore republicans and conservatives were against it. the energy in the conservative movement is to oppose it. or how much of this is a more consistent philosophical strain? i am trying to sort that out. i don't want to suggest that every republican who has spoken out against syria is just motivated by partisan animus. you look at somebody like justin nosh in the house and i have problem concluding that the guy is 100% sincere. he is coming at this from an ideological, philosophical standpoint. this is not somebody who will be adjusting his principles depending on which party is in the white house. there is plenty of that on the republican side. my question -- i have not seen a satisfying answer to this -- how much of that -- how many of the

here's a clip back from 1992 in june when bill clinton was running for the presidency. what impact did this moment ave? >> well, that was inteed your loudest clip and it was really a ground breaking moment when clinton goes on the arsen yo hall show and not only plays the saxophone but wears sun glasses and trying to be -- playing elvis. some critics said not very well. but then he goes and sits down and talks to him for a good 20 minutes to half hour about some very personal topics. and if you think back in 1968, nixon went on laugh-in and said the phrase, the signature phrase of that show which was sock it to me. he didn't say it that well but that was it. and that supposedly humanized nixon. here about 20 plus years later you've got a presidential candidate who is putting himself out there trying to show he is hip, he is cool, combining both music and television in a way trying to appeal to the american people. and elvis had been kind of controversial when elvis started on the ed sullivan show they had to sensor the gyration of his hips. and now, it was more of a uni
